Summary

In volume I of this series, we get to know our heroes, Gloria, Melissa, and Augustine, who work for a pharmaceutical company called MINERVA, which is staffed by an array of colourful characters with whom we have all worked (whether we like it or not) over the years. Despite their encounters with these awful people, like the office bore, the letch, and the bully, together they begin to uncover information that the company has tried to hide, and start to unpick MINERVA’s dirty secret. This book is for anyone and everyone who has worked in an office. The characters are recognisable, regardless in which sector you work. It is also about the unbelievable story of a device scandal, where people were left with irreversible physical and mental damage, caused by the implant of a device. Although it is unlikely that anyone working for the company set out to cause such harm, once it became aware of the situation, colleagues colluded to cover up the facts and this corruption went on for many years. It took whistle blowers like the heroes in our story to bring the truth to light and make the public aware of what was really going on.

Twenty-five years ago, Oriana hid a devastating professional mistake—and now must face the consequences. 
 
 
 
Oriana Coleman is one of the most sought-after art dealers on the east coast, renowned in New York, London, Paris, and Tokyo. She fought tooth and nail to get to the top—and didn't always play by the rules. 
 
 
 
At the beginning of Oriana's career, her best friend and coworker swapped out a multi-million-dollar painting for a very convincing forgery. When she confessed to the crime, Oriana knew better than to tell anyone she hadn't noticed the painting was a fake. It would have destroyed her reputation and dropped her back on square one. 
 
 
 
But Oriana was never really able to escape the past—and when someone blackmails her with information about what happened all those years ago, she's forced to reckon with her demons, before her career is destroyed forever.

She can't make a baby without a husband! Or can she? 
 
 
 
After witnessing the miracle of birth, self-determined spinster Miss Penelope Crone is having second thoughts about swearing off marriage. She wants—no, she needs—to experience the blessed event herself. Dear God, she's practically thirty! Time is running out! 
 
 
 
Hugh Chesterton, Viscount Danbury, is relatively intelligent, good looking, unmarried, and most importantly, close at hand. With a little décolletage, a sway of the hips, and a few drinks of brandy, Penelope is certain she can extract a respectable offer. 
 
 
 
If only she'd accounted for the power of passion. 
 
 
 
Because unchecked lust takes over, leaving Penelope in a most precarious predicament. And Lord Danbury—the goose-brained jackanapes—is proving far less attainable than she'd imagined. 
 
 
 
Is Penelope to be cast out of society or will Lord Danbury take a leap of faith and save her from ruin? He'd better act fast if he's going to make her his lady. His Lady At Last . . .
